Approval is for 2 years, pending further DOD-DOT study of using commercial data bases and system capabilities to price the transpor tation of commercial-type freight. This approval includes use of the standard tender under new accessoria service rules for rail, pipeline, tank truck, driveaway, towaway, and water carriers, provided that there is no information collection burde imposed by those rules beyond what is apparent in the tender. If additional burden will be imposed by such rules, or there is a change in MTMC class Rate Pub. No. 100 or MTMC Freight Traffic Rules Pub. No. (from drafts available for comment) that imposes additional informatio collection burden, an amendment to this clearance and justification of that burden is required. Remarks added, effective 08/15/87: This approval includes optional use of the state-to-state matrix.
